Edit: This blog is no longer in use. I have now moved over to Instagram. My Instagram account is @suregal27. Be sure to say hello to me over there! This blog was started to document my personal challenge of knitting a different patch every day for a year. I learned to knit in January 2013, and I started the challenge on March 1st, 2013. These daily patches became a journal of sorts, showing moments from my family's everyday life.

The Challenge:
I plan on knitting a daily patch that is approximately 5 x 5 1/2 inches. However, the quantity doesn't matter, as long as I add something to my scarf each day. Some days may be so difficult in "Real Life" that it's possible I end up adding only one stitch (a very bad day), or just a few rows.
Each day's patch will be a different color or design. But I'm going to try to K.I.S.S. (Keep It Simple Stupid), because intricate patterns lead to tangles, time, and frustration. The designs may be of a holiday, or something that inspires me during the day. The whole scarf will be my journal, of sorts!
As a bonus, I also plan on knitting a tiny patch each day (11 x 16 stitches, with a design area of 7 x 12), using the main color of the bigger patch.

Your February calendar patch is so cute and clever.
I have learned something from your blog every day!
Great ideas you keep coming up with. 😊
I like the new notes you added about KISS and making a tiny patch each day. Will the small patch be made into a strip, a blanket, or a stack?
